dc.description.abstract | Background: While surgical resection is highly sought for operable lung cancer, it is associated with risks of unfavorable postsurgical outcomes including increased postoperative complications, delayed hospital discharge and deterioration in physical fitness. Aims: The primary aims of this review were to investigate the efficacy of prehabilitation on postoperative hospitalization duration, incidence of postsurgical complications, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) in lung cancer patients. Secondary outcomes evaluated were days with chest tube and incidence of specific pulmonary complications – pneumonia, atelectasis and respiratory failure. Methods: A literature search was conducted in Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials within the past 10 years. We used meta-analysis as well as additional methods of sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis where appropriate. Results: Our results show significant benefits in decreasing postoperative length of stay (LOS) (SMD= -0.62 CI -0.85, -0.40), improving postoperative mean 6MWD scores (SMD= -0.46 CI -0.87, -0.04) and decreasing days with chest tube (SMD= -1.04 CI -1.73, -0.35). Global QOL (SMD= 0.16 CI -0.11, 0.42) and subsets of physical function, emotional function and dyspnea score were clinically insignificant. Incidence of postoperative complications was not reduced despite subgrouping into general complications (RR= 1.14 CI 0.39, 3.36) and pulmonary complications (RR= 0.98 CI 0.77, 1.25). Pneumonia, atelectasis and respiratory failure did not experience a decrease in incidence after prehabilitative interventions. Conclusions: Initiating prehabilitation benefits postoperative recovery of lung cancer patients by decreasing postoperative LOS, improving physical function in terms of mean 6MWD scores and decreases the duration of chest tube inserted. Implications: This encourages hospitals to conduct prehabilitative programs for lung cancer patients, supervising intense activities while empowering patients with self-regulation opportunities. | |
